Trading Cryptos: 6 Years of Tears and 6 Rules to Help You Move from Liquidation to Consistent Profits. Six years ago, after losing everything, I never imagined I could achieve an annual return of 50%+ through 'survival rules'. It's not about gambling your life away; it's about stubbornly sticking to trends and discipline—this is a life-saving guide earned with real money.
1. Trading Time Rule: Focus on the 'Golden Hour' after 9 PM
During the day, messages are mixed, and trends are chaotic. 60% of 15-minute K-lines are 'false breakouts' that are traps. The real opportunities lie in the market after 21:00 when the European and American sessions overlap. For example, when ETH breaks above the 4-hour Bollinger Band upper band at night, the continuation far exceeds daytime surges.
2. Profit-Taking Rule: Withdraw 300U for every 1000U earned
Account numbers ≠ real wealth; too many people have gone from 100,000 U to 10,000 U in losses. My approach:
✅ Withdraw 3% to the bank card immediately after a 10% profit
✅ Use 'withdrawal screenshots' to curb greed
✅ Roll over remaining funds at 1/3 position
3. Three Indicator Trading Method: Refuse to trade based on feelings
Install TradingView on your phone and keep a close eye on MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands. Only enter when at least two indicators resonate:
1-hour chart: Golden cross + crossing out of the oversold area + mid-band breakout
4-hour chart: Bullish moving averages + increased volume
For example, if BTC stabilizes above the 4-hour MA60 while the 1-hour RSI crosses above 40, the win rate for going long exceeds 70%.
4. Dynamic Stop-Loss Strategy: Even the market maker's shakeout can't force you out
While monitoring: If you open a position at 1000U and it rises to 1100U, simultaneously raise the stop-loss to 1050U to lock in profits.
When exiting: Set a hard stop-loss at 97% of the order price.
Remember: The stop-loss is for the next opening; I once avoided a 519 crash thanks to three stop-losses.
5. Capital Management Rule: Withdraw 30% of profits every Friday
Whether you earn 100U or 10,000U, withdraw 30% without fail. After a year of persistence, capital volatility dropped from 80% to 25%, completely breaking free from the vicious cycle of 'earning and losing everything' again.
6. Six Trading Taboos: Hit one and go to zero
Leverage: Beginners ≤ 5x, experienced players ≤ 10x (100x leverage results in 99% liquidation)
Frequency: Limit to 3 contracts per day; overtrading leads to losses
Coins: Stay away from meme coins like Dogecoin and Shitcoin, which are toys for market makers
Funds: Never borrow money; investment ≤ 20% of annual income
Routine: Shut down by midnight; refuse to stay up late gambling
Emotions: If you lose more than 20% in a single day, force a 24-hour trading halt
